Swapping attachment to content on Receiver Mail Adapter

Hi Experts,
Can I move my attachment data to content on receiver mail adapter ? I am not using Mail package or mapping. I tried using Payloadswapbean on receiver adapter but adapter generated email with attachment only with and without Payload swap bean module.
Please let me know if it is possible without using Mail Package.
Thanks,
Ankit

Hi there,
If you want to use attachment in content, then you need to collect the entire mail content in BPM. From there you can use Payloadswap bean on receiver adapter.
The reason behind using BPM is that the attachment is maintained only in Integration Directory. First the mapping converts the source into mail and then just before moving to receiver the attachment gets added to the mail(i.e. after mapping). So if a BPM is used then all the mail content with attachment will get transported to BPM first and then to the receiver with the above change (Payloadswap bean i.e transferring the attachment to content).

Renaming attachment file name in receiver mail adapter

Experts,
I have a file to mail scenario where an xml file is picked up and transformed into the target format in XI which has to be sent as an attachement in an email on the receiver side.
I am getting the mail with the attachement. But I would like to rename the attachment as the name of the picked up file.
I am using Adapter specific message attributes on both sides but the attachment is named as untitled.xml.
Please advise. Can this be achieved by using the swap bean or the message transform bean?
Regards,
Shobhit

Hi Shobhit,
The module tab of your mail adapter will look like this.
Processing Sequence
Module Name                                                            Type                                      Module Key
localejbs/AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean   rename LocalEnterpriseBean
sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean mail     Local EnterpriseBean
Module Configuration
   Module Key               Parameter Name             Parameter Value
      rename      Transform.ContentDescription                      File
      rename Transform.ContentDescription attachement;filename="yourfilename.ext"
      rename            Transform.ContentType                 application/text;name="yourfilename.ext"

Hi
f i create like this Receiver CC (module Tab)
number: 1
Module Name: localejbs/CreateAttachment
Module Type: Local Enterprise Bean
Module Key: mail
is it enough? do i need any other setting like this
Did you deployed CreateAttachment on PI server. As this is not a standard SAP module this is a custom module?
mail as module key is already used by XIMAILAdapterBean use some other key for CreateAttachment
Settings are fine for the Module
Processing Sequence
localejbs/CreateAttachment Local Enterprise Bean XML2Plain
localejbs/sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean Local Enterprise Bean mail
Module Configuration
XML2Plain Transform.Class com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.Conversion
In this:
Module Key: XML2Plain
Parameter Name: Transform.Class
Parameter Value: com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.Conversion
is it right?
Processing sequence is fine
XML2Plain Transform.ContentType text/plain;charset=utf-8
XML2Plain xml.Header1000.fieldFixedLengths 100,10,10,30,30,80,80,20,10,10,20,20,30,10,18,240,10,30,18,10

XML2Plain xml.addHeaderLine 0
XML2Plain xml.conversionType StructXML2Plain
XML2Plain xml.recordsetStructure Header1000,Header2000
can i anyone explain how to these settings?
Is this key valid to provide inputs to the module check with the code for this module
This looks like valid for MessageTransformBean ro StrictXMLtoPlainBean
Thanks

Dynamic attachment name with receiver mail adapter and use mail package

We need to send mapped XML payload as attachment (with dynamic name) to a recepient (recepient email id is part of input xml payload, but not part of the mapped XML payload).
I could probably do this using the adapter module (as per the following link),
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/Adapter%20Module%20PI%207.0%20Set%20Attachment%20Name?bc=true
I would like to explore if this would be feasible using Mail package and XI payload.I already have a Java mapping that is converting the input XML to required Output format. If I am using Mail package (XI Payload), how do I go about sending this Output XML from java mapping as attachment to email id available in the input payload?

Hi,
1) XML payload as attachment (with dynamic name)
2) recipient (recipient email id is part of input xml payload, but not part of the mapped XML payload)
These two is possible by using Mail Package. You have a standard xsd for mail package which you can download from the SAP Note 748024.
The xml created in you java mapping which will be your attachment should be put into the <content> tag of the mail package xml structure. and the file name can be set in the <Content_Type> tag.
<?xml version="1.0"; encoding="UTF-8"?>
<p2:Mail xmlns:p2="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Mail/30">
<Subject>My Invoice</Subject>
<From>from email address<;/From>
<To>to email address</To>
<Content_Type>text/plain;name="MyFile.csv";</Content_Type> --> file name here
<Content>123;A49;aaa</Content> -> attachment xml here
</p2:Mail>
And you have to select MailPackage in the receiver mail adapter.

Aravind

Receiver Mail Adapter, Mail Package with Payload as Attachment

Hi Everyone,
I have spent the better part of the day today searching and testing all of the different combinations that I could think of to solve this problem, so please don't just do an SDN search for me and cut/paste in the links as there are too many contradictive answers piling up over the last year.
I am trying to use a Receiver mail adapter to send some data using the mail package, and I want to have the <content> tag be in an attachment. I am using mail package to dynamically set the mail address, but to also try and turn my data into a csv file that the recipient can open in Excel.
My mail package sets the following values:
<Content_Type>text/plain</Content_Type>
<Content_Disposition>attachment</Content_Disposition>
<Content>Sample Text</Content>
This blog is basically what I am trying to do:
<a href="/people/community.user/blog/2006/09/08/email-report-as-attachment-excelword:///people/community.user/blog/2006/09/08/email-report-as-attachment-excelword
But no where in here is he setting ContentDisposition, and he is (potentially) not using the MessageTransformBean module.
It is unclear if I need to use the MessageTransformBean to make this work?
Questions:
1) Do I need to use the MessageTransformBean?
2) Do I need to set the ContentDisposition in the mail package?
3) Does Service Pack matter with these settings? We are on SP15 upgrading to SP18 very soon.
Thanks
Peter

Hi Peter,
try:
<Content_Type>text/plain;name="file.csv"</Content_Type>
<Content_Disposition>attachment;filename="file.csv"</Content_Disposition>
<Content>Sample Text</Content>

Stefan

Excel file(.xls) as attachment and Body(Signature) via Receiver Mail Adapter

Hi PI Experts,
I have a requirement File(.txt) - PI(7.4) - mail (.xls attachment and signature in the body). Can anyone pls help me with the best approach to send excel file as mail attachment and signature in the body.
Thanks,
Sri

Hi
You can try this approach
1. use mail package and java mapping to populate the mail package.
inside the java mapping do the following
a. read the text file and convert it to excel and then set it as additional attachment.
b. map the signature and body with the field 'content' of mail package.
2. on the receiver mail adapter check both mail package and keep attachment options.
Hopefully this will work.

Receiver Mail Adapter: Formatting the mail content

Dear All,
I'm using a receiver mail adapter. I would like to format the content of the mail using the contents of the XML message. For example:
XML Message
<Order>
<OrderID>1234</OrderID>
<CustomerName>Sandeep Joseph</CustomerName>
<NetValue>7467.99</NetValue>
<Link>http://locahost:7000?OrderID=1234</Link>
</Order>
Mail Content
Dear Approver,
Please approve the Order - 1234, Customer - Sandeep Joseph
Link: http://locahost:7000?OrderID=1234
Thanks,
Are there any modules which would help formatting to this extend? Or any other mechanism?
Thanks,
Sandeep

The easiest means is to use XSL mapping and create the Content Type as HTML and emded the cotent within HTML tags.
One such example is shown by Praskash in this blog,
/people/community.user/blog/2006/09/07/email-reporting
/people/community.user/blog/2006/09/08/email-report-as-attachment-excelword
If you use the Mail Package option then you can also wite a UDF in your mapping that will populate the content field. For every newline you can use the java new line \n and so on.

The scenario is working but the problem is body of the email is coming as attachment in the mail client.(outlook express)
Is there any way to avoid the body coming as attachment.

Hi Ramesh,
You can use the MessageTransformBean in the receiver mail adapter for this.
Refer this for the parameters which you can use

Receiver Mail Adapter message with PDF attachment

Hi.
We are trying to generate emails from the mail adapter that includes the plain text in the body of the resulting email and an attached PDF file. We receive the following structure:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:newMailRequest_MT xmlns:ns0="http:/pdk/sap/TorstenTest">
   <Sender/>
   <Receiver/>
   <BodyContent/>
   <Subject/>
   <Attachment/>
</ns0:newMailRequest_MT>
I have set up an interface and mail adapter to be able to produce emails with plain text in the body. I used SAP note 748024 for this.
So right now I can make XI send emails with dynamic mail addresses. My problem lies in sending attached files with the mails as well.
I have read most of the threads in here, but none of them seem to answer just how to include the attachment. Which field in the 'Mail' message type is used for the attachment??
What needs to be added to the communication channel and adapter for it to include attachments, while the body of the mail still keeps the plain text message??

hi
I have used the following links to send the file as an attachement and as payload.
so it may help u.

Dynamic file name of the attachment in receiver mail adapter

Hi
I have configured a receiver mail adapter which receives the payload as an xml attachment.
Right now the file name of the attachment is hardcoded to "invoice.xml".
I want to set it to dynamic ie. instead of "invoice.xml"... i want it as "invoice<invoicenumber>.xml".
Invoice number is present in the payload.
please suggest a solution w/o the need to develop a custom adapter module.
Thanks!

Receiver Mail Adapter - Avoid attachment

Hello
Could anyone please let me know, how to prevent a mail attachment with a Receiver Mail Adapter. I have chosen XIPAYLOAD as Message Protocol. When the mail is received there is no mail body, instead only the attachment contains the message.
Thanks
John Jeyaraj

Hi,
Use Mail XSD as target structure in your mapping and enable use Mail package in your receiver channel...
for avoiding attachments..

**I changed the receiver mail adapter to not use Mail package and I receive an email without errors with the Content as mentioned above. **

Hi Teresa,
I think the problem is that you are using multiple "Content" tags. Have you tried to use only one?, you can concatenate all your text.
Check the page 3 of this document to know how introduce new-line character http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d0964d7c-e66e-2910-24bb-ac535e4a5992?overridelayout=t…

Dynamic attachment name in receiver mail adapter for 1 attachment?

Hi,
seems to be a tricky thing....
The sender interface (file) picks up an xml file and a pdf document.
The receiver wants to get the xml file as a txt file and the pdf, both sent together by mail.
We are following this thread:
"Sending multiple attachments winthin a single Receiver Mail adapter in required format".
So far we are able to generate the txt file and send it together with the pdf to the recipient.
The txt file gets its name from the payload of the xml file.
Unfortunately the pdf should be renamed to the same name as the txt file.
And here we are stuck.
We generate the filename for the txt file in the mapping to the mail message (as usual ximail30.xsd).
But for the pdf we are only able to set a static name in the channel module page using
Transform.ContentDisposition.
Any ideas how to solve this are really welcome!!!!
(Solutions that do not talk about using a new module to be written are prefered.)

Dirk
